1966 Map of Micanopy

About this map

The expansive wetlands of Paynes Prairie dominate this mid-century landscape south of Gainesville, showing a complex hydraulic network including Alachua Sink and Camps Canal. The map documents the historical land divisions of the Arredondo Grant and Moses E Levy Grant, providing a clear view of how these colonial-era boundaries shaped later development. In the southern portion of the sheet, the town of Micanopy sits near Tuscawilla Lake, while smaller named settlements like Tacoma and Kirkwood appear along the transportation corridors leading toward the city. Local infrastructure is well-defined, ranging from the Gainesville Country Club to the Idylwild Sch and New Minnie Hill Ch, alongside several water bodies like Wauberg Lake and Chacala Pond that define the region's character.
